Walking and Mental Health


 I enjoy going for a walk, it clears my mind, and ideas seem to flow naturally, I feel as one with the universe. Even after a short burst of a 10-minute speed walk, I felt more alert, and energetic and had a more positive mindset. When you are at your desk, and you have a mental dilemma, I think it's time to go for a walk, people who take a break from work-related activities and go for a walk, have noticed that their concentration has improved with better focus. Walking can help you clear your mind, trigger new ideas, and spark those creative juices. Walking is a self-esteem booster, it can also help you improve your body image, the more pounds you shed, the more you look and feel great. When you walk outside, the scenery around you is constantly changing, you may meet new people, get to smell the flowers, and you can always change your walking path, these experiences you will not get while on a treadmill. Walking does not just have mental benefits, exercise is believed to decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Joining a walking club can make social connections, walking with a walking club can help you meet new people, build friendships, and provide a sense of community. Connecting with others can be beneficial for meeting others who share similar interests. The more you walk, the more it becomes a habit, and the more motivated you are towards making better food choices, and make more positive life choices, and become a well-rounded individual. So get in your sneakers, and walk for a better you.
